In an official statement Ananda Marga writes, “We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our senior monk, A’ca’rya Cinmaya’nanda Avadhu’ta. Ananda Marga strongly condemns this act of violence which is a direct contradiction to the core principles and values that the mission upholds. The alleged involvement of two former monks is particularly distressing.”

The Ananda Marga, Inc. Jagrti property, an HOA townhouse at 2355 Trellis Place, Richardson Texas (Dallas metro area) was recently sold at the request of the Dallas Bhukti Committee and the Dallas Regional Secretary for the sole purpose of finding a replacement property with better location and other qualities.
